This weekend, Tennessee Titans linebacker Avery Williamson went back to his college roots to help someone in need.  Williamson held a free autograph signing on Friday to raise money for University of Kentucky fan Sarah Warner Lister.

Lister is battling acute myeloid leukemia.  Williamson signed autographs from 6-7 p.m. at AllSports in the Fayette Mall in Lexington, Kentucky. 

Attendees gave a donation in exchange for the signature.  Williamson also gave two tickets away for a Titans home game this upcoming season.

After a 137-tackle season in 2015, Williamson became the first Titans player to record back-to-back 100-tackle seasons to start his career.  As a rookie in 2014, he started 12 games at inside linebacker and notched 107 tackles.

Williamson was a fifth round pick of Tennessee out of the University of Kentucky in 2014.  He was a senior captain for the Wildcats and an All-SEC second-team performer during his final season.

During his junior and senior years, Williamson ranked second and fourth respectively in tackles in the SEC.  Williamson grew up in West Tennessee about two hours outside Nashville.
